Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 483: The Unhappy Saint Heir

Liu Feng and the others watched, dumbfounded, as Xue Zhao stuffed the valuable tickets into Ye Qingchen’s hands as if they were free.

However, unlike the Token gifted by Xiao Xiao, these tickets only provided access to the general viewing area. A Token, on the other hand, allowed one to enter the VIP area and watch the competition up close.

Ye Qingchen, of course, didn’t care about these differences. As long as he could enter the venue and not break his promise to Xiao Xiao, he was completely satisfied.

Then, Xue Zhao took Ye Qingchen by the hand and they headed into the venue together, leaving a stunned Liu Feng and his companions behind. Since when were the spectator tickets for the Sect Newcomer Competition so worthless? Handing out four or five at a time? Those were items that money couldn’t easily buy! After all, being a spectator for this competition not only required great strength but also had strict requirements regarding one’s status and identity.

"No wonder she’s the Beauty of the Western Region, so generous," Zi Xing remarked with admiration. She felt somewhat uneasy, yet she couldn’t pinpoint the reason for her discomfort. Could it be because I wasn’t able to help Ye Qingchen? Zi Xing shook her head, deciding not to dwell on such thoughts, and headed towards the venue.

Liu Feng and the others exchanged glances. Besides remarking on Ye Qingchen’s dumb luck, they had no other way to vent their resentment. In the end, they could only follow Zi Xing and enter the venue.

Meanwhile, inside the venue, Xiao Xiao and the Saint Heir of the Wuji Immortal Palace noticed Ye Qingchen’s arrival at almost the same time.

Xiao Xiao immediately ran toward Ye Qingchen.

The Saint Heir’s face was filled with astonishment. I clearly tricked Ye Qingchen out of his Token, so how could he have appeared inside the venue?

However, when the Saint Heir saw Xue Zhao beside Ye Qingchen, understanding dawned. It turns out that fellow latched onto Xue Zhao’s coattails!

The Saint Heir kept his composure and grace on the surface, but he was quite annoyed inside. This lucky bastard’s romantic luck is truly exceptional!

Xiao Xiao, however, was brimming with happiness and excitedly ran up to Ye Qingchen. But when she saw Xue Zhao holding his arm, a strong feeling of jealousy surged through her. Without a word, she grabbed Ye Qingchen’s other arm.

Although being embraced by two peerless beauties was an exciting affair, their very presence made it impossible for him to go unnoticed. Nearly half of the people in the venue turned their eyes toward Ye Qingchen, wondering which family’s young master he was to be accompanied by two such stunning women. Some people recognized Xue Zhao and Xiao Xiao and were even more shocked.

Feeling the crowd’s gazes that seemed ready to cut him into a thousand pieces, Ye Qingchen grew uncomfortable and discreetly tried to pull his arms free.

Feeling his movement, both women glared at him fiercely. Rejecting our kindness in public... What is he trying to imply?

Without another word, Xiao Xiao clung to Ye Qingchen’s arm again, her heart full of indignation. After all, Xue Zhao held his arm the whole way into the venue. I only just grabbed on, and he’s already trying to pull away! It’s not fair!

It must be said that a young lady’s competitiveness can sometimes be surprisingly strong and unpredictable.

Seeing Xiao Xiao clinging to Ye Qingchen’s arm, Xue Zhao refused to be outdone. She grabbed on again and shot Xiao Xiao a challenging look. At the same time, she was inwardly amazed by Xiao Xiao’s beauty. Remembering Zi Xing, who had been with Ye Qingchen earlier, a sour feeling surprisingly stirred in her heart. This guy... he looks so honest, but he’s so popular with women!

Xiao Xiao let out an indignant huff, her cheeks puffed out as she asked, "Young Master, who is she?"

Xue Zhao mimicked her, asking coquettishly, "Big Brother, who is this person? Why does she call you Young Master?"

Ye Qingchen felt a headache coming on. Perhaps to others, he seemed to be enjoying the company of two beautiful women, a situation worthy of immense envy. But only he knew how difficult it was to withstand the glances being exchanged between them.

He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Xiao Xiao, this is Lady Xue Zhao. Lady Xue Zhao, this is my sister, Xiao Xiao."

Both women were startled upon hearing the other’s name, as each was a peerless beauty of equal fame.

Compared to Xiao Xiao, Xue Zhao was more perceptive. From Ye Qingchen’s introduction, I can tell this "Beauty of the Northern Region" doesn’t see him as just a brother. And from the way she calls him ’Young Master,’ their relationship is clearly not ordinary. Considering her current status, for her to still address him that way... it can’t just be out of loyalty from their old master-servant relationship. She must be in love with him.

This guy really has some luck with women, Xue Zhao thought, unable to tell if she was feeling admiration or envy.

Just then, Zi Xing also entered the venue. Seeing Ye Qingchen with Xiao Xiao and Xue Zhao, she approached them.

In an instant, three unparalleled beauties surrounded Ye Qingchen. This scene drew the attention of everyone present. Their gazes were filled with curiosity about Ye Qingchen’s identity, but even more with jealousy and envy.

Liu Feng and the others were so enraged that they started cursing loudly.

"Ugh! Shameless! Being with three beauties at once, isn’t he afraid of bursting?"

"That spineless coward is just a pretty boy, sponging off women and thinking he can do whatever he wants!"

"That’s it, I can’t take this anymore! I’m going to challenge him to a duel!"

Zi Xing’s arrival allowed Ye Qingchen to extract himself from the awkward situation. He withdrew his hands and introduced the three women to one another.

The women had all heard of each other’s reputations but had never met before. After Ye Qingchen’s introductions, they looked at one another, genuinely marveling at the others’ beauty.

Coincidentally, all three women had reached the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, and they were all favored contestants in the upcoming Sect Newcomer Competition.

The mere presence of the three women standing there created a powerful atmosphere that made everyone present pause.

Standing among the three, Ye Qingchen could sense their Fighting Spirit beginning to clash invisibly and shook his head with a wry smile. Indeed, it’s better not to guess what goes on in a woman’s heart.

At that moment, a middle-aged man in white, the host of the tournament, walked onto the arena stage and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I declare the start of Eternal City’s quinquennial Sect Newcomer Competition! Will all participating contestants please come up to the stage to draw lots!"

As the host’s words fell, the qualified contestants began to file onto the stage.
